Biography[]
Qinglong is a God of the Chinese Pantheon belonging to the Four Beasts, a group of four Gods led by Zhuque who are the best assassins in the Heavens, who always manage to complete their task even by cheating sometimes.
Following the proclamation of first the Ragnarok Tournament and then the Apocalypse Tournament, Zhuque is entered into the Apocalypse Tournament and Qinglong, along with the other two members of the Four Beasts, remain in the stands to watch the matches. All watching together as Cú Chulainn and Ra-Horakhty clash, which ends with Cú Chulainn winning, a victory so surprising that Qinglong, Baihu and Xuanwu are convinced that Ra had held back, which is denied by Zhuque and pointed out by Morrígan. She reveals to the Four Beasts that she intends to kill Cú Chulainn, even outside the Apocalypse Tournament if necessary, and that if a way is not found to counteract the Gáe Bolg Cú Chulainn will win the Tournament.
When it is time for Zhuque to fight Indra in match 3, Baihu and Xuanwu are sent to kill Indra or at least keep him out of the ring so Zhuque can win by disqualification. Indra is not afraid and faces them, managing to defeat all three without being injured. However, Xuanwu manages to hold him down until the moment of disqualification, but surprisingly Zhuque reaches them and, bringing a camera with him, decides to face Indra personally inside the arena.
Powers and Abilities[]
Overall Abilities: As a God, Qinglong possesses physical abilities far superior to those of any ordinary Human. His body cannot be damaged by mortal weapons, however it can still be damaged by unarmed attacks from individuals with superhuman strength and Divine Weapons. For the same reason, Qinglong is unable to die due to old age. He possesses considerable resistance, having managed to withstand several blows from Indra.
Expert Cutlass User: To complete his missions, Qinglong uses a large curved cutlass with a tsuba in the shape of a dragon's head with an open mouth. He is very skilled in using it, managing to strike his enemies very quickly. However, Qinglong was unable to defeat Indra even when supported by Baihu and Xuanwu.
Assassination Skill: Qinglong and his companions are known as the best professional assassins in the Heavens and have never failed a mission, even if they are willing to cheat to complete it.
